We had an incredible experience with Teresa from SnM — she absolutely crushed it. The photos turned out amazing and captured the moment perfectly. From start to finish, she was super responsive and easy to work with, which made the whole process stress-free. She also went above and beyond in helping plan the engagement, and her discretion allowed me to truly surprise my fiancé, which meant everything to us. We couldn’t be happier with how it all turned out and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone talented, professional, and thoughtful.

I worked with Teresa for a recent photoshoot in Big Sur. Teresa was an expert - she helped me find the location for the perfect location for the shoot and strategizing with me to pull off a surprise for my partner. After we did the initial shoot, she even offered to take us to a location five minutes down the road to do some additional shoots at another location she thought may be nice. She gave us extra time (feeling really like this was a 2 shoots for 1 deal), and gave us plenty of high quality edited photos. We also got her video package and could not be happier. We had some small feedback with the cuts in the video, and she was very receptive and turned them around quite quickly 5/5 stars - highly recommend. Teresa's great energy and high quality photos helped make it a day to remember!

We absolutely loved working with her for our wedding. She made everything feel easy and natural, even when we were nervous, and somehow captured all the little moments we didn’t even realize were happening. The photos are beautiful and feel so us. Super professional, great energy, and just an all-around amazing photographer. We’re so happy we chose her and would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.
